Chapter 286: The Woko

In fact, there are not many soldiers that can be transferred out of the southeast coastal guard, to be precise, there should be not many elite soldiers who can be transferred, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty mostly went to the sea to fish and transport, and the same is true for the soldiers.

Due to the untimely payment of the imperial court's salary, or most of them were lost, the soldiers of hundreds of thousands of households in various places returned to the general of the early years of Zhengde, and in order to make a living, they had no choice but to sell their ships, inspect with horses, and respond to the inspection of the inspection department with broken ships. Most of its soldiers also went to the sea for trade and inland commerce. Coastal defense is as weak as this.

In order to cope with the errand, Zhejiang and Fujian gathered 1,000 elite soldiers to go north, and Ma Ang naturally took his 100 households to be among them.

In September, Chen Yu's wedding date was gradually approaching, Fang Xiaomei wanted to return to Wenzhou Fang's house to live for a period of time, and wait for Chen Yu to come over to greet her in October, but Chen Dafu was worried that he would not be able to eat and live there, so he said that he would not let her go, and in desperation, Fang Xiaomei also compromised, and could only wait until two days before the wedding to return.

In September, the northeast wind rises on the sea, which is conducive to the sailing of Japanese boats.

After Chen Yuluo's southeast coastal defense, the Japanese also invaded the coast from time to time, but at that time, the navy was heavily defended, and as soon as they arrived in Damaoyang, they could always be driven and killed by the ships of the hundreds of households patrolling the sea.

But the pirates were not afraid.

Since the unification of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court almost cut off the Japanese tribute, to the Zhengde period almost every three years of tribute, and only allowed its ships two, and no more than 200 people, the tribute is also limited to horse helmets, armor, swords, waist knives, guns, etc.

Japan's demand for maritime trade is enormous, and even after the reopening of the Ningbo Shipping Division, there is still a limit to the amount and quantity of trade and trade with Japan, which cannot meet Japan's demand at all.

For this reason, they have repeatedly privately traded smuggling with large coastal households, and this is only limited to Japanese officials.

In order to obtain profits, some unofficial rogues will still take risks and plunder along the coast, but they are only taken by the military prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and they dare not make too many mistakes, so since the early years of Zhengde, there have rarely been serious robberies and murders.

In September, the Japanese king Minamoto Yoshisumi sent tribute horses, helmets, armor, and swords from Satsuma Island in Japan, and took advantage of the northeast wind to Wushamen, crossed Jiushan and Haizhantas, and landed in Ningbo.

At the same time, another group of Japanese ships did not go to Ningbo after crossing the sea gate, but quietly headed for Wenzhou.

There were not many people on this boat, only about four or five, and they wanted to see if there were fishermen who could go to sea nearby on the east coast of Wenzhou Prefecture and take the opportunity to rob them.

But the thing is so weird, so weird that those stupid widows can't believe it, usually just to the coastal periphery, there will be a boat from the inspection department sailing by, but this time the sea is calm, occasionally you can see a few fishing boats of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, they unknowingly landed on the coast of Wenzhou, hid the ships on the side of the reeds, and the leader was called Xin Yiyuan, and quietly turned around the east coast of Wenzhou with four or five Japanese robbers.

They did not dare to go far because they were unfamiliar with the road, but they turned around near the place where the ship was moored, and when they saw a village not far away, they quietly sneaked in.

This coastal village is not rich, and there are only about a hundred villagers, and they only know that the tragedy has happened when the four or five Japanese have killed one or two people.

In just one hour, the whole village was silent, blood flowed quietly in the muddy water, and the chickens and ducks in the village were jumping, and there was chaos.

The four Japanese cobs led by Xin Yiyuan were just looking for some benefits, but they never thought that this time the harvest would be so big, and the most strange thing was that there were no guards along the coast.

Just as they were about to turn back, they saw a group of soldiers from the Hundred Households preparing to go to the sea, and the two teams met each other.

When the 100 people saw this, they immediately shouted "Wako", but before they could continue to shout, the Wako cut off his head.

Seeing this, dozens of people in the back immediately turned around and turned around, this batch said that it was Ming soldiers, but in fact it was just some temporary "soldiers" for the inspection department to check and roll call.

So the scene of four or five Japanese robbers chasing after one hundred and ten pseudo-"Ming soldiers" took place.

One hundred and ten people, nearly half of their blood worshiped the sea, but they left a monk alive and brought the monk back to the seas in front of the temple.

There, there were also two two-masted ships moored, and the reason why they stopped there and did not dare to continue moving forward was because they knew that they were about to reach Chen Qian Mountain, where there were Ming defenders.

This monk is from Hupao Temple in Hangzhou, his legal name is "Pujing", a native of She County, Huizhou, and he also had a name before he became a monk, called Xu Hai.

The reason why the Japanese released him was because he said that "he knows the Ming garrison and the rich and poor coastal areas."

Although Xin Yiyuan was a little stupid, he was not stupid, he knew what Xu Hai's words meant, so he arrested him back.

There are 100 people in front of the palace, all wearing Japanese clothes and shoes, and they are dressed strangely.

Xu Hai has been a monk in Hupao Temple for several years, and that mouth naturally does not need to be said, and he told the recent situation of the Ming Dynasty concisely, and pointed to a place where it is easiest to land and the weakest place in a thousand households, Wenzhou!

………………

If such things continue to be reported layer by layer, the Wenzhou prefect and the commander of the capital naturally don't have to continue to do it, so their approach turned out to be the same as Xu Hai expected, and they suppressed this matter alive!

Seeing that the wedding date was getting closer and closer, Chen Yu was a little excited and a little panicked in her heart.

Fang Xiaomei's lower abdomen gradually protruded, which made Chen Dafu very happy, and what did he say about a sour and spicy girl, what a round and wide girl, anyway, all kinds of feudal superstitions came out, and the result of lust was a grandson.

For this reason, Fang Xiaomei was worried all day long, afraid that if there was a son Chen Yu and their Chen family would not want her in the future.

In a powerful woman, encountering this kind of thing is a matter of gain and loss, but from another point of view, Fang Xiaomei really cares about Chen Yu and the Chen family.

There are still ten days left in the day of the welcome, and the Chen family has now taken on a new look, and the whole house is full of joy, and Chen Dafu personally handles the requirements, but where it is a little unreasonable and does not conform to the identity and etiquette, it will be changed.

Chen Dafu does these things every day, and he is afraid that his relatives will make his neighbors laugh.

And Chen Yu was also forced by Chen Dafu to write an invitation to the wedding, and there were as many as 100 people for Chen Dafu to invite, not to mention that Chen Yu also had some friends in the officialdom and relatives of Fang Xiaomei's family.

Counting the days, Tang Yin should also come from Suzhou.

Early that morning, he and Zhu Zhishan Wen Zhengming came to Qiantang Wharf.

Waiting left and right just didn't see him, and it was nearly ten in the evening before he saw the merchant ship docking.

Tang Yin was messy, as if he had just been violent, and for this reason, Wen Zhengming and Zhu Zhishan also laughed at him for wanting to revive Fu Gang and the like.

For this reason, Tang Yin just smiled, but Chen Yu noticed a trace of abnormality, because of the large number of people now, he did not break it.

Not long after, Xu Zhenqing also arrived at Qiantang Wharf.

The two of them said that they wanted to stay in the inn by themselves, but they couldn't bear Chen Yu's enthusiasm, so they pulled them to Chen's mansion.

A few people haven't seen each other for a long time, and they have a lot of words, and it wasn't until night that Wen Zhengming and Zhu Zhishan left tremblingly. Chen Yu naturally ordered the people in the house to send him off, and then he found Tang Yin again.

Because of Tang Yin's face, he didn't break it, and now he asked with concern: "Teacher, this was robbed on the road?" ”

Tang Yin looked up to the sky and sighed, "To be a teacher is to buy paintings, and to make up this gift money!" ”

"Teacher, what did you say? You're glad you're here, but what's going on on the way? ”

Tang Bohu said a word of bad luck, and then said: "The canal is blocked, so the merchant ships sailed into Qiantang from the coast, and just after Wenzhou Mansion, they met the Japanese Kou!" I haven't heard of the movements of the Japanese in these years, how can I be born...... What a bad luck! ”

"Wako?" Chen Yu's heart tightened, it was difficult for them to find that the coastal coastal defense was weak so quickly? "How many are there?"

"There are few, three or four, it seems that they came with the tribute, so it is not a problem." Tang Yin said.

Chen Yu nodded, but there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

This matter has passed like this for the time being, and Chen Yu didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, there was such a big thing as a wedding waiting for him to worry about.

A few days before the wedding, he even received a congratulatory post from Yang Tinghe, so he could only smile helplessly.

Not long after, Shen Fei also rushed over from Dantu, and when he saw Chen Yu, his face was full of light, and it seemed that the "battle" over there was going well.

On the same day, Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming, Fang Xianfu, Gu Dingchen and others also rushed over from Beizhili.

According to them, His Majesty gave them four days off, and Yang Yiqing also brought a congratulatory note from His Majesty.

Although Chen Yu was dismissed, it can be seen how big this face is.

When Shen Fei saw Yang Yiqing, he immediately wilted, and Chen Yu patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to be calm.

The wind is high and the clouds are light, the autumn is high and cool, after entering October, the weather is gradually a little cold, Qiantang is prosperous, and the welcoming team also goes straight to Wenzhou along the canal.

At the same time, a two-masted ship also quietly anchored along the coast of Wenzhou, and dozens of Japanese swordsmen quietly marched towards Fangjia Village under the leadership of Xu Hai.

There was a lot of joy in Fangjia Village, and the little fat paper room shouted not to go to the private school, but to accompany the aunt to get married, which caused many adults to smile for a while.

The village rests peacefully in the crook of its mother's arm like a baby with a stream, and it is early in the morning, the sky is gray, and wisps of faint morning mist and green smoke with the fragrance of rice slowly drift towards the sky.

The old cow flicked his tail peacefully, trying to shake off the mosquitoes on his body, and the yellow dog stuck out his tongue and lay peacefully in the courtyards.

The autumn morning in Fangjia Village is like a picture scroll, beautiful, even if high-ranking officials come here, they will also have a sense of seclusion.
